Summary

I am a highly motivated employee and student that is always trying to gain more experience and challenges with whatever tasks I take on. I am driven by the fear of not fulfilling what I believe to be my one true passion, helping those around me in any way that I can. I strive to thrive in any situation I am put in, whether it is part of a team or individual. I am dedicated to being the best in the room, and if I cannot be the best in the room, I want to know I am bringing in the best version of myself in any task I am put on.
